"Ben-ur, Life Is Beautiful (especially when you take into account the persistence of the way he pursued the woman he'd marry and also his courage and humor and love for his wife and son), The Grey, and Batman Begins."

"So many...Lord of the Rings, Gladiator, Braveheart, Kingdom of Heaven, Tombstone, Open Range, The Untouchables......"

"Just finished the last Band of Brothers episode last night. Pretty manly, but everything's manly about WWII (even the women). Otherwise there's Delicatessen, which is manly in a completely different way. Some might think…"

"Favorite manly movies   Gettysburg It's a Wonderful Life Master and Commander Kingdom of Heaven Last Samurai A Good Year Patton Saving Private Ryan Apollo 13 Forrest Gump  "

"SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION.    over and out"

""Shackleton" was great.  I'd never heard of him.  Now I've read a few books and my admiration for the guy only increases.  He had his flaws, but man.  To get into such a disaster and get all his guys out…"

"I get that you don't like it.  You've still been pretty vague.  What specifically do you find unmanly about it?  Is it just that anything you don't like is inherently unmanly? JB"

"Who said you had to like it?  The question was about "manly" movies.  You said there was "no chance" Braveheart qualified.  Too black-and-white to be manly?  I don't get it. JB"

"Dunno, I just dont like it very much, to black and white or some such notion. Master and Commander are a great historic, manly flick."

"I Know there was a blanket statement for the Duke, but i would like to point out 3 that I personally think qualify as man's man movies. 1: The Sands of Iwo Jima (Sgt. Stryker is an Icon. What a lot of men strive to be as a military man.) 2: The…"

"lol. good one, JB."

"Why not Braveheart?   Rambo qualifies.  First Blood is definitely a more in depth movie than the other three ... but all four are definitely guys-guy movies.  Blood.  Sacrifice.  Honor.  Really cool weapons.   JB"

"The first Rocky definitely, undecided on  Rambo. Braveheart, no chance."
